Why does love hurt? That seems a strange question. Isn't pain an important ingredient in love? The pain even manifests itself physically, as the tightness in your chest, the tears in your eyes, etc, not to mention that love brings even greater mental pain. It is quite obvious, to me at least, that you can't be in love without a great deal of discomfort. I just don't want that again. Plus, you lose control over yourself when you're in love. Love distorts your perception. It can leave you really vulnerable, like how alcohol leaves a drunk vulnerable on the street. I don't want that.
